Obama declares “muslims are an essential part of the fabric of our country”

What do you think, do you agree that muslims are an essential part of the United States of America?

Speaking Thursday at the White House reception celebrating the islam’s holiest month end of ramadan, President Obama made a point of highlighting the contributions muslims have made to American society.

After praising muslims’ contributions to the U.S. and describing the discrimination many now face in the wake of recent terrorist attacks, Obama told his guests, “And I especially want to speak to the young people who are here, to make sure that you know that we see you, that we believe in you.”

More than 100 muslim American dignitaries and guests from overseas gathered in the East Room to mark eid al-fitr, the end of a month of fasting and prayer for muslims around the globe.

Raahima Siddiqi of Virginia led by reciting the Arabic prayer, surah fatiha, the first chapter in islam’s holy book, the quran.

Obama reiterating the need for muslim Americans to “stand together” and “look out for one another.”

President Obama reaffirmed his steadfast support and respect for the muslim community in the United States. He called for tolerance of muslim Americans, while also recognizing the communities’ achievements and contributions to society.

Skips over actually mentioning anything notable they have contributed. Let me offer some:

Suicide bombing (and being literally the only people that still do that, and it’s not a rarity either) and civilization destruction don’t really make for a good resume, tbh.
They crashed the Byzantines and Rome through economic warfare (via sinking every ship in the inland sea that was a very beneficial trade route between empires), they never stop warring with people, and they pretty much deserve about 5 nukes because they sure as hell don’t want peace.
The Crusades were about a dozen or so defensive conflicts and they were demonized for it, for fucking defending themselves, while the Muslims warred more then the fucking Mongols for 1 and a half millennia and they’re still doing it.
The crusades worked, but it was a defensive conflict. Right now, you need to END the war, and talks aren’t going to do that.
You need to get the world to agree that the violent crybabies of the world, the Arab States, are not worth protecting and are in fact worth bombing to hell.
Appeal to greed, appeal to morality, appeal to ANYTHING, so we can get back to dealing with the problems in western society and not this distraction we pretend is so just and righteous, when they are in fact the worst degenerates who have a fetish for violence, looking for excuses to carry it out on everyone they can, including other muslims.

A religion where adherents are required to fast and think about their relationship with their God for a whole month. A little similar to Lent, but obviously without the decadence of Mardi Gras immediately before.

If I move to another country or even to Montreal, but I refuse to learn the local language, I refuse to eat anything but my own style of food despite all the riches I am surrounded by, if I deliberately shun local people, make friends only with my own class of people, , i would be rightly accused of being intolerant and racist and a host of other terrible things.

But if somebody from another country comes here, refuses to learn our language, refuses to discover our history and culture, refuse to integrate with me and my society, I am still to be blamed for being intolerant and racist?

Apologists for extremism like to argue that Islamists hate us for good reason. They attack

the West because of the awful things the West has done to them, and because Europe has miserably failed to integrate its Muslim population. But they also kill the infidels next door. It is clarifying to keep in mind that Islamist hatred is not confined to us. Its real motive is the logic of fanaticism.

In Pakistan, Christians are a despised minority in an increasingly theocratic state. Attacks on Christian churches have killed hundreds. Fear is part of their daily lives.

Like it or not, we really are at war. It’s a war of light against the dark. And last week, the dark was winning.
